Proverbs 8:12-18
Lexham English Bible
12 I, wisdom, live with prudence,
and I find knowledge and discretion.
13 The fear of Yahweh is hatred of evil,
pride, and arrogance and an evil way.
And I hate a mouth of perversity.
14 Advice and sound judgment[a] are mine;
I am understanding, strength is mine.[b]
15 By me kings reign,
and rulers decree righteousness.
16 By me rulers rule,
and nobles—all judges of righteousness.
17 I love those who love me,[c]
and those who seek me diligently shall find me.
18 Fortune and glory are with me,
enduring wealth and righteousness.
